  Oh man Ernest Seton Thompson. I read Wild Animals I Have Known when I was like 7 and it stuck with me.

  I got some doordasher with a typoed email who is apparently constantly driving under the influence for doordasher because I keep getting reminders that that’s against Doordash policy

  Here’s the serious advice: whenever you have to think about it like this, don’t do it.

  Opensuse still over here … Just being a computer.

  Gave my mom a machine with Mint, havent heard a peep out of her.

  It is so bad. The passenger can’t even fix the nav, at least not in the Chevy I just rented.

  I had a 70 Olds 98 with the Rocket 455. You could literally hear the gas pouring into the dinner-plate sized carburetor when you floored it. Had it for two or three days and the jankt wiring caught fire and it burned up. Probably for the best really.

  Does it run lineage, because that is the only way I’ll touch Samsung’s abysmal OS ever again

  California, Utah, Texas all have laws now requiring age verification to use an app store

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about storage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Soldered in there :) also max 8 GB memory. I only paid like $30 for this box including the $10 for four used drives, I’m not expecting it to run Crysis

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about storage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Encryption slows it down a lot. It’s just a Turion II

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about storage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a N40L running TrueNAS. It is slow for mass transfers but at about 40-60mbps transfer speeds it is plenty fast for file usage (jellyfin libraries etc.) Right now it’s just a secondary but it is quiet and uses little power. You can get 3.5 to 2.5 adapters and use ssds for even quieter use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about storage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having a separate machine as a NAS is good, running TrueNAS or XigmaNAS. You can segregate your backups from your daily use, you can have automated tasks run, etc.

  Machine wise, I’m gonna try out a Beelink with nvme slots. Right now I’m using a Proliant microserver. Don’t get one with a hardware RAID card as you want to be able to use zfs. But otherwise they sell pretty cheap on Ebay.

  Well AT&T banned the (better) international models from their network a while back. They work fine. Just banned.

  They’re pretty well known here for low quality flashy vehicles, with premiums for luxury not quality.

  I was on the fence about it but this random advice from the Internet pushed me over. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Supreme Commander is good. It is the closest modern-ish game to Total Annihilation that I’ve seen.

  Yes, second Talos Principal, it is excellent and the soundtrack too.

  We are, Batman, we are.

  I VPN to my network for it.
